majorities' view. However, "the anger w .....

.... to society and how does the theme of beauty and ugliness linger throughout the story. With this in mind, how does this make Pecola a victim of society and a victim in herself?
If any person can be credited for creating the obsession of beauty that Pecola builds it is Pauline (Pecola’s mother). Pecola experiences many insecurities and it can definitely be said that many of these are because of the way that Pauline acts in society and around Pecola. It was stated in the story that Pauline .....

The Cask Of Amontillado
.... 2)How readable and interesting is the style?
Poe's style is interesting, but somewhat difficult to read in the beginning. At the start of the story, Poe develops the plot of the story in a difficult manner. For example, Poe writes, "It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong." He could have just said in simpler terms, the revenge has to make to him feel like Fortunato felt when he wronged him. Other than in the opening paragraphs, .....

Teenage smoking in New Zealand is very common, 31% of teenagers in New Zealand are regular smokers, the smoking age between Holden and New Zealand teenagers is the same but now you get teenagers that start smoking below the age of 17.

Manhattan. The city is decked with decorations and holiday splendor,
yet, much to Holden's despair "seldom yields any occasions of peace,
charity or even genuine merriment."3 Holden is surrounded by what he
views as drunks, perverts, morons and screwballs. These convictions
which Holden holds waver very momentarily during only one particular

reading me that crap out loud. I wouldn’t’ve read it out loud to him if he’d
written it - I really wouldn’t.”
Holden is not fond of the society that he lives in. It is a superficial
society that worships the movies and actors because they portray a type of
living that seems wonderful, although it is very false. Holden does not like the
movies, he views them as a world that people wish they could be in. An
example of this is when Holden says “If ther .....

However, during his psychological battle, life continues on around Holden as it always had, with the majority of people ignoring the 'madman stuff' that is happening to him. This only continued until it began to encroach on their well defined social codes. More easily put, n .....

Slips Of Fate -the Lottery

Mrs. Adams states that “Some places have already quit lotteries.” Moreover, Old Man Warner replies, “Nothing but trouble in that,” “Next thing you know, they’ll be wanting to go back to living in caves,” as if the other villages were living in the dark ages and t .....
